EAT, SHOP AND SEE IN NEWCASTLE:

Ouseburn Cafe

Our personal favourite is their Ultimate Burger which consists of a beef burger, bacon, lettuce and onion, all sandwiched between two cheese toasties. If you’re feeling extra brave you can even make it a double. Good prices, good food but not for the faint-hearted.

Artisan

Artisan is still relatively new to the Ouseburn Valley, and their mantra, ‘where food is art’ may seem a touch too high-brow for some. At Artisan they pride themselves on the best locally sourced ingredients, producing fresh seasonal dishes, and it goes without saying that the presentation is exquisite. Perfect for a date-night or special occasion.

The Victoria Tunnel

The Victoria Tunnel was built to transport coal from the other side of the city to the river in 1842 then used as an Air Raid shelter in WW2. Guided tours offer an informative and fun trip through - a once in a lifetime experience.

Quayside Market

Every Sunday between the Millenium Bridge and Swing Bridge, independent traders selling handcrafted goods and local produce pitch up between 9am-4pm. Artists, designers, jewellery-makers, food stalls, photographers and fashionistas showcase their goods and produce. Perfect for a Sunday stroll or shopping you won’t find anywhere else.

The Biscuit Factory

The UK's largest contemporary craft and design gallery located in an old warehouse just a 3-minute walk from both of our Newcastle residences. It offers free entry plus there is plenty to peruse, buy and even grab a coffee and a cake.

The Tyne Bar

Under the Glasshouse Bridge is a traditional pub that embraces alternative music and it even has an outdoor stage! The Tyne Bar offers a great selection of food and drinks with an even better atmosphere.

Tup Tup

Tup Tup is Newcastle’s most acclaimed nightclub. Multi-level music rooms with lavish Eastern-style interior including waterfalls, mosaic lamps and cosy booths. It is everything you could want for in a night out.
